🌟 Recommendation Details

Sam loves Chinese New Year when his family gives him the bright red envelopes with money inside, usually a dollar. His grandparents give him 4$ each year in 4 envelopes. He is excited to spend them and he can't decide how to do so. He and his mother are shopping and he is thinking of buying cookies or toys, but the toys are way too expensive with only 4 dollars. He gets a little mad and his mother expects him to be grateful. There was a beggar on the street that he notices does not have shoes. This helps him to remember to be grateful for what he has.
